Why we encourage performance teams at hubpac!
At HUBPAC, we highly encourage performance teams for all students. We start Troupe Teams from 8yrs - all the way to our HUBPRO Full Timers.
Dance competitions can be valuable for young dancers for several reasons:
Performance experience: Competitions provide young dancers with opportunities to showcase their skills and talents on stage. Performing in front of an audience helps build confidence, stage presence, and the ability to handle performance pressure. It allows dancers to experience the exhilaration and fulfillment of sharing their passion for dance with others.
Goal setting and motivation: Preparing for a dance competition requires setting goals and working towards them. Competitions provide a tangible target and a sense of purpose for young dancers to strive for. They help foster discipline, perseverance, and a strong work ethic as dancers dedicate themselves to training and improving their technique and performance quality.
Constructive feedback and growth: Competitions often provide judges who offer feedback and critiques on dancers' performances. This feedback can be valuable in identifying areas of improvement, refining technique, and developing performance skills. It helps young dancers gain a better understanding of their strengths and weaknesses, fostering growth and encouraging them to strive for continuous improvement.
Exposure to diverse dance styles and talent: Dance competitions bring together dancers from different studios and regions, exposing young dancers to a variety of dance styles, choreographic approaches, and levels of skill. This exposure broadens their knowledge and appreciation of dance and can inspire them to explore new styles and expand their artistic horizons.
Networking and community building: Competitions create opportunities for young dancers to connect with peers from different dance schools and backgrounds. They can form friendships, build a network of fellow dancers, and develop a sense of camaraderie. The dance community that emerges from competitions can provide support, inspiration, and lifelong connections.
Performance evaluation and recognition: Competitions offer a platform for dancers to be evaluated and recognized for their achievements. Awards, trophies, scholarships, and opportunities for further training or performance may be presented at competitions. This recognition can boost young dancers' confidence, validate their hard work, and provide external validation of their talent and dedication.
It is important, however, to maintain a balanced approach to competitions, ensuring that the focus remains on growth, learning, and enjoyment rather than solely on winning. Competitions should be seen as a part of the overall dance journey and not the sole measure of a dancer's worth or potential.
